Customer Service Advisor. This seems to be some kind ‘glorified’ salesperson (which I’m sure probably isn’t glorious at all…lol)
Merchandising/Pricing Associate. Is this the same pay as a typical Sales Associate?
Lead Cashier.
I went for an interview at a Sears a long time ago (just a sporting goods sales position) and they basically told me that it was something like $7.00 or $7.50 an hour for a few weeks of training….then dropping down to about $6 an hour with the rest being commission. But the ‘good news’ was…”If you sell a tractor, you automatically get $25.” These three positions seem to be moreso ‘hourly’ positions and not just sales-focused commission and hourly combo positions. Am I correct in thinking this?
What would a Lead Cashier get paid there? I was told the regular rate…but of course the manager really wanted to hire me when I went there, a while back. I chose not to accept the position, but I’m still on ‘good terms.’
He knew I didn’t want to take a job with such a low pay and the rest being commission-based. He informed me during my interview that he had promoted a lot of people from the sporting goods section and made them a manager…which goes to $11 an hour, according to him. Does a Lead Cashier get this kind of pay?
Please do not leave me one of those dumb, “Consider working elsewhere…” or other odd comments. If you don’t know, then please just skip over the question, because I can take a simple ‘guess’ just like anyone else can. But I need facts from current/former employees.

That sound like about it. No much future in the retail business as a retail clerk/cashier.
